Are you fasting sometimes?
If you are fasting witch kind of fasting do you do?
In the picture, good vegetables and meat stew may not be the most suitable picture if you are fasting. But I could not put an image on the bone broth, it would be a picture with too little color and patterns so it had to be food that I ate yesterday. Two days ago before we started our 3 day fast 2 days of homemade bone broth and today 24-36 hour dry fast will see how it feels tonight the target is 36 hours. So far it has been easy this is the third time I fast first time I fasted on green juice 7 days it was quite alright. This summer I fasted on water / tea for 7 days it was tougher. So when we decided 3 days this time, it felt easier 2 days on the bone broth has been easy, today no drinking at all feels like a challenge. We fast for the body to be able to repair itself and bone broth should be healing for the intestines too. I share some links on fasting and recipe for the stew.

We are planning to build a tiny house on our back yard, I will have it as a studio but we are preparing for kitchen and toilet so that we can live there later. Both me and my husband are artists, which can be financially difficult sometimes, we both have other part-time jobs that we enjoy, but we think that when our children move in a few years (3-4years maybe 😄) we will move out to the tiny house. Our house has 5 rooms and a large living room so we think we will have the living room as a studio and build a door to the rest of the house, and rent rooms to students. Then we may not have to keep our other jobs. Live cheap and get some extra income. The most important thing for us is that we want free time to work with what we want. What do I want to do then?

Last weekend was a nice weekend in many ways my husband Kimmo had a exhibition opening on Saturday and in the evening our friends came to a party. We usually organize a charity party, we make soup and sell it and also sell drinks, combining pleasure with usefulness. We give the money to a school Jennifer school located in the slum of Dhaka Bangladesh. This time we raised 200 euro and it is enough for 2000 small meals for the children in the school 🙏
On Sunday, I and my lovely friend ❤ Maria made a good soup for lunch with anti-inflammatory spices. In the afternoon I was at my first meeting with an Influencer workshop Gothenburg, fun and I look forward to more meetings with them, those who run the workshop is Johanna https://enklaknep.se/ and Siranee https://thaimorsan.se/ I will telling more about it later.
Have a nice weekend 🙌

I’ve started exercise with a PT, It feels amazing 😄 During the past year, I’ve been exercising extremely little because I have a frozen shoulder. But if I’m honest, I’ve not been exercising so much for the last 30 years. 🤤 So it’s time to start now. In 2016 I did a little try but then my shoulder started to hurt. Have tried to get started excercising a few more times over the years but never hade the pleasure and routine. Have worked much to improve my health for the past 2 years, changed diet dropped nearly 20 kg and reached my goal weight and has meditated and exercised mindfulness. But now it’s time to take the excercising to a new level. My PT Emelie sets the bar at just the right degree to challenge my balance, strength and pain and makes me feel good 😄

Is color on food important to you?
Color is an important ingredient in my eating. I look a lot at my food and I am very happy when it’s strong and beautiful colors 💚 So color is very important to me, but also taste and nutrition the food has. I like to eat organic vegetables growing abow earth as much as possible, because I want as stable blood sugar as possible. Of vegetables I eat a lot of cabbage both because it is useful, cheap and local farmed. Fat I eat most coconutoil, avocado and olives and what protein i eat it has changed the last time. For the past 16 years I have eaten beans and fish, a year ago I started eating organic chicken and a month ago organic meat, maybe you wonder why? I have been very tired for the last 2 1/2 years, thought that I was little burned out after a long period of work I had and it has probably been true, but 1 1/2 years ago I had a test of my tyroid and TSH value is hight and I have low metabolism. I have been struggling and thinking that I will fix it with meditation, dietary supplements and diet. But did not get any improvement. Have read a lot and come to the conclusion that I want to try to eat meat. The thyroid needs to work optimally, has also had a lot of iron deficiency. So since 1 month back, I eat a little grass fed beef and drink bone broth , feeling a bit stronger. We will see what it does with my health. In January, I eat AIP diet (Autoimmune paleo) to reduce inflammation in the body.
Today I ate meatballs made from meat from green farms that have gras fed organic meat to the pink cauliflower and our homemade sauerkraut that is very good, sauerkraut made from red cabbage I think it. is better, think it’s the color that makes it 🙌

Wish you a fantastic New year 🎉❤️

You might wonder how to make a world record soup and how the idea is born to this odd world record.

I stood and looked into our fridge, saw that we have a lot of cruciferous vegetables in different varieties, time to make a healthy soup was my thought. I started to count how many sorts of cruciferous vegetables we have. Wow I think this will be a world record soup 😀😅😂. Calling my dear man who is in the store and asking him to look for some other sort of cruciferous vegetables ( he found 2 more) it should be a record, it’s important to go all in.

Well how many sorts from cruciferous vegetables do you think I have in the soup?
I am curious, how many do you think?
The answer is below. Have a nice day 🙌😘

Found the gold of the forest 💛 good yellow chanterelles when we drove home from the mountains. Today I was craving for pizza so did a little healthier pizza that tasted delicious, not so surprising for if you have chantarelles everything taste good . I made an avocado pesto instead of cheese, it was surprisingly good, creamy, fat and the tasteful basil made sure you did not miss the cheese

Today I was meditating and bathing in a sauna by a lake, a very nice day ❤️
Sat and drank tea and ate a cake in the sun ☀️ looked at the beautiful landscape and felt the silence. Feel grateful. I baked coconut cakes with saffron, they turned out very good. I do not eat sugar anymore but sometimes cakes containing dates.

Lunch today was soup with artichokes and trumpet chanterelles, I made the soup the first time two weeks ago. Last time we sat outside in the sun and ate but today it was colder so we ate indoors. The first time I cooked the soup, it was one of those days when I had no inspiration for cooking and took what was in the fridge, but the soup was so good.
